This was part of my Super King haul. I bought the Persian cucumbers because they were open-stock, not bagged, and the radishes because they were cheap. Also some of the most beautiful radishes I've ever seen. The tag was from a farm in Moorpark, so they were SoCal local. That explains a lot. I even kept the greens to cook up for the next meal.
The result was a Mediterranean version of sunomono. Light, tangy, but including herbs. Those don't generally make it into the Japanese version of the dish.
2 Persian cucumbers
1 bunch red radishes
*1 green onion, finely chopped
*1/4 C white wine vinegar
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp salt
*1/2 tsp dill weed
*1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tb toasted sesame seeds
1. To make the dressing, combine vinegar, honey, salt, dill, garlic, and sesame in a bowl or container. Add the chopped onion and coat evenly.
2. Thinly slice cucumbers and radishes. I could have gotten out the mandoline, but decided to torture myself doing it by hand.
3. Add sliced vegetables to the dressing. Stir to coat, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, for flavors to meld. The radishes will bleed pink into the salad, so it isn't as pretty the next day. Serve chilled.
